As you will be very aware, in the recent Budget, the Chancellor announced significant changes to National Insurance from April 2025, specifically:
  

• Employers’ National Insurance rate will increase from 13.8% to 15%
• Employers will start paying National Insurance on more of an employee’s earningswith the threshold reducing from £9,100 to £5,000
• The employment allowance will go up from £5,000 to £10,500

Dorset Chamber is concerned at the significant increase in National Insurance costs most employers will incur – and the wider impact of this on business. We want to understand the impact of this on the Dorset business community and make representation accordingly.
